8 years agolast modified: 8 years agoWe prefer not having any glass decorations on our tree. I'm a big fan of unusual materials, especially textile decorations. We have knitted, embroidered and lace balls, felt owl, satin princess shoe, ceramic angels, a set of funny wooden gnomes, some wire balls and stars, some cardboard and wooden small houses, some colourful silk tassels, some glittering foam icicles, one porcelain Petrykivka painted ball, an angel made of a big clear bead, some soft feathers and sheer fabric with glittering wire and other funny and unusuall things. And a lot of bows, of course! But my favourite is this wooden reindeer (or is it a moose?) wearing knitted christmas jumper:
We don't actually buy 'decorations'. All of those items are tiny symbols of our dreams, our wishes for the next year. Each one represents something important for one or all of us. Each one is pure emotion.

POLL: What type of flooring do you have in your living room?
Comments (71)I agree! As it is not always feasible to install real timber or stone, Karndean is the best vinyl option. I am going to have 36sqm of it installed in my own place. I have direct contacts with the manufacturers here in the UK. If anyone is interested, please inbox me and will get you in touch....See MorePOLL: How long do you keep your Christmas lights up for?
Comments (8)I start taking my decorations down in the days after 2nd Jan but usually leave a few bits up until 5th of January, the evening of which, I (and the Church of England) consider to be Twelfth night. It seems logical to me that Christmas Day is the first Day of Christmas, and twelfth night is the last evening before Epiphany. It doesn't make any sense to me to start counting from Boxing Day but I know lots of people believe that it is the night of Epiphany is 12th night and you hear both dates used...See MoreHow do you make your DIY Christmas decor look stylish & not crafty?

Comments (26)There are definitely good decorators and bad ones - I certainly agree with Jenny Boyd and A.S.! Some professionals are most certainly better than others and just because they do this for a living doesn't necessarily mean you're guaranteed a quality result every time. I've had superb results from good decorators, and shocking outcomes from others. I had some so-called professional decorators do the rest of my house and the finish was even worse than my kitchen efforts - paint splashes on hardware and glazing, poor coverage, dust dried into the workwork etcetc. Just shocking! So I should have qualified my statement with get a professional to do it if you can verify that they really know what they're doing and that their standards will match your expectations!...See More
